Gratitude to My Teachers

Whatever light or wisdom I carry isn’t mine alone — it’s a reflection of the grace and generosity of my teachers. Each has touched my life in ways words can’t fully express, shaping who I am and what I share with others. I remain simply a servant of what they’ve given me.

I bow to Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta Swāmī Śrīla Prabhupāda, whose vision brought the timeless wisdom of bhakti to the world, and to Devāmrita Swāmī, whose compassion and guidance continue to shape my spiritual life.

I offer reverence to the Śrī Ācyutānanda lineage and its living proponents, Pandit Sanjay Rath and Śrī Freedom Cole, who have opened the profound science of Jyotiṣa with such clarity and grace.

My gratitude extends to Dr. Ganesh Mohan and his family, who carry forward the living tradition of Śrī T. Krishnamacharya, blending the heart of classical yoga with the practicality of modern therapy.

I am deeply thankful to Dr Vasant Lad’s faculty — Mitesh and Sneha Raichada, and Dr Vrinda Devani — whose teachings of Ayurveda have revealed the art of balance, nourishment, and living in rhythm with nature.

With gratitude, I also remember Samir Rane, my first yoga teacher, who introduced me to the yogic sciences, and Bhīma Karma Saragrāhī, my mṛdaṅga teacher, who shared with me the rhythm, joy, and heartbeat of kīrtan.

I bow to the many saints, sages, and classical texts of Yoga, Ayurveda, Astrology, and Vedānta, whose living presence continues to guide and inspire me.

Above all, I offer my deepest gratitude to my beloved wife, Ganga, whose love and devotion are my constant source of strength and joy, and to my parents, whose support, sacrifices, and blessings laid the foundation of my life’s journey.

May these blessings flow through me with sincerity and integrity, for the upliftment of all beings.
